2. OVERVIEW
2.1 Introduction and specifications
Gamatronic is proud to present to you the line-interactive SMART COMPACT UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply). The SMART COMPACT UPS provides high-quality protection for a PC, a network
workstation, or any small Internet-connected device. The SMART COMPACT UPS includes built-in line
conditioning known as AVR (Auto-Voltage regulation), the best technology for protecting your PC against
all power disturbances, including power blackouts, power surge and power sag. Your choice of the
SMART COMPACT UPS means you are working smart, protecting your PC against power irregularities,
and protecting yourself against data loss.
2.2 In case of ac mains power failure
In the event of a power failure, the SMART COMPACT UPS supplies stable backup power to your
computer (or other connected device) from internal batteries. There is no interruption of power to your
computer.
The SMART COMPACT UPS informs you of the loss of ac power by lighting the orange LED on the front
panel, and beeping every four seconds.
The length of time that the SMART COMPACT UPS can supply backup power depends on the power
usage of the attached computer or other load, and on the level of battery charge.
In the case where the UPS is connected to a typical PC computer and the UPS battery is fully charged,
you can count on at least three to five minutes of backup, enough time to save your work and shutdown
the computer in an orderly fashion.
Printers typically draw large amounts of power, as do many household appliances. The SMART
COMPACT UPS is not designed to provide large amounts of power so do not connect a printer or
household appliances to the UPS.
Be aware that you need to charge the UPS batteries before your first use of the UPS. See section 4.3 on
page 6.

Preventive Maintenance
9
7. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Every Gamatronic UPS contains technologically advanced electronic systems. These electronic systems
are sensitive to environmental conditions. It is important that the operating and storage environments of
the UPS be clean and dust-free, free of dampness and excess humidity.
The system's batteries provide back-up power to the UPS when needed. An environmental temperature
of 20 °C (68 °F) is ideal for the batteries. Significantly higher temperatures shorten the batteries' lifespan.
The UPS and its batteries both require periodic preventive maintenance inspections. At the least, these
inspections should include a visual inspection of the UPS and its batteries, and the tightening of any
screws and bolts that have over time become loosened. The owner of the UPS is responsible for
ensuring that the preventive maintenance inspections take place. This is done by contacting
Gamatronic's service department and arranging a mutually convenient time for a technician to perform
the inspection.
It is important that the UPS owner continue to arrange regular preventive maintenance inspections even
after the expiration of the initial warrantee period.
Gamatronic bears no liability for damage caused to the UPS due to improper maintenance by third
parties, in particular after the expiration of the warrantee or service agreement.
It is the responsibility of the UPS owner to uphold his responsibilities according to the warrantee or
service agreement. This includes ensuring that the UPS's environment meets requirements.
8. SERVICE AND REPAIRS
Gamatronic maintains a team of service technicians, repair laboratories, and an ample inventory of spare
parts, dedicated to the service and repair of our products. When service is required, it will be performed
either at the customer's site or in one of our laboratories, according to the judgment of our technician and
the specifics of the service agreement between the customer and Gamatronic.
In regards to service, oral agreements have no standing. Service shall be provided gratis during the
warrantee period, on the condition that the UPS has been properly maintained and a written record has
been kept of any maintenance performed on the system.
The initial warrantee period can be extended by a written service agreement between Gamatronic and
the customer. Without a written agreement, Gamatronic is under no obligation to provide service after
expiration of the initial warrantee period.
Gamatronic will not be responsible for maintenance or changes to the UPS that are performed by an
agent without written authorization from Gamatronic.
